Ice Baths & Cold Plunges FAQ
You can either purchase a large ice bag to pour into your bath, or you can use a dedicated chiller. These units will chill the water to the desired temperature and maintain it for the length of your session. Different units will have different temperature ranges and chill times so check your specific ice bath for details.
For optimal results, many people use their ice baths 2-3 times per week. However, depending on your fitness level and recovery needs, you may use it more or less frequently. Always listen to your body and consult with a professional if you're unsure.
Staying in the ice bath for around 10-15 minutes is a good amount of time to see recovery benefits. Avoid staying in too long to prevent hypothermia or discomfort.
When used correctly, ice baths are very safe. However, it's important to avoid extreme temperatures and to always follow safety guidelines. It's also recommended to have someone nearby when using an ice bath for the first time.
The size of your ice bath depends on your needs. Smaller tubs, like the Polar Barrel 340L, are great for individuals or those with limited space. Larger options, such as the Polar Tub 505L, are perfect for those who want more room or need a larger capacity.

Each tub is made from military grade PVC with rip-stop polyester fabric, designed to handle daily usage. Despite its tough design, they’re lightweight and portable, so you can enjoy your ice bath wherever you need it.

What are Ice Baths?
An ice bath is a form of cold water therapy where you submerge your body in cold water, often with ice added, to help reduce inflammation and promote recovery. Typically used by athletes, ice baths are increasingly popular for those looking for that extra boost to their fitness routine. The cold temperatures can be achieved by either manually filling a tub with ice, or by using a special unit that cools the water to specific temperature. The latter is generally favourable for regular users, as it’s faster and more convenient.
